We found that function btf_dump__dump_type_data can be called by the
user as an API, but in this function, the `opts` parameter may be used
as a null pointer.This causes `opts->indent_str` to trigger a NULL
pointer exception.
Fixes: 2ce8450ef5a3 ("libbpf: add bpf_object__open_{file, mem} w/ extensible opts")
